It’s the same error if I try VANILLA or GAPPS

[SOLUTION] It works after you enter a password using “lxpolkit”.

Do you have something like polkit-gnome installed?

Edit: Glad you found a solution. Just for completeness: You also have to start the polkit agent via your sway config file. For polkit-gnome it would have been

exec /usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1

polkit-gnome is not available in dnf. I did install polkit-kde, polkit-qt and mate-polkit to see if it works. Same problem, sadly

Might have to reboot for the polkit agent to be started.

Nope, rebooting doesn’t do anything

Seems like you have a permissions issue. I just tested it on Fedora workstation gnome, run it from regular menu, then it asked me for password. You, you have a permission denied isssue, so you need to figure out how to run it as root.

Yep, that seems to be it. lxpolkit worked for me.

Does any app which asks for permission to elevate to root work?

You might have to translate the names to what Fedora reposi provide. But this should be a good start

Nice catch, lxpolkit works for me.
